☝️Do not remove the skin. The skin will help salmon fillet retain its shape while you sear it. It will also protect it from overcooking. Also, when the salmon is completely cooked, you can slide the fork between the salmon fillet and the skin to remove the skin. It’s much easier to remove the skin once the salmon is cooked!

-1/3 teaspoon salt
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-3 cloves garlic , minced
-4 sun-dried tomatoes , chopped
